About this title

From School Library Journal

Using the I-Search method, this manual introduces teachers and librarians to strategies to get students to move away from traditional research in which they merely restate information to a higher order of thinking. Duncan and Lockhart encourage researchers to ask the following questions: "What do I want to know?"; "Where can I find the answers?"; "How will I record the information that I find?"; "How will I show what I learned?"; and "How will I know I did a good job?" Along the way, they will learn about choosing topics, evaluating sources, note taking, presenting findings, and working with peers to develop better skills. Ready-to-use transparencies and copies of student I-Search papers are included. A welcome guide.
